After thinking about it for a while, I can see how the double standards got started. Here's what happened. *fade to flashback* The Year was 1963. The Women's Rights Movement is rapidly gaining popularity as Title VII of the Civil Rights act is established. Women are entering the workplace in droves. They're encouraged to do things previously reserved only for males. Their minds were opened and they began absorbing the mannerisms of the men in the workplace. This is where the problem began.
Shortly after the women moved into the workplace came a nasty plague called Radical Feminism.*crowd ewwws* They called our society an oppressive patriarchy and they set out to destroy it! No longer were men allowed to speak about what was really going on in their twisted minds. These radicals didn't want equality - They wanted to dominate. Slowly, They began taming the male. The damage had already been done though.*crowd gasps* The men had planted a seed that would prevent that domination.
This Seed I speak of is, of course, sexually suggestive comments. It was one of the original reasons for the uprise of women. It was one of the least desirable traits of the workplace Male. Now, it's a common trait among workplace females. In the future a few men will try to use this seed against women to get their manhood back. Unfortunately, This initial rebellion will fail because, well, Men like those suggestive comments. However, slowly but surely, balance will come. It'll take a bit of pulling from the left and from the right, but sooner or later we'll get it centered.
Analog, I think the Player vs Slut model hints that women are the stronger of the sexes.. Women Dislike sluts because they exploit the power of being a women. Men Dislike sluts for one of two reasons. The first being that guys seem to think sluts screw around with every guy EXCEPT them. The Second being that they don't know the girl is a slut until she dumps him and he finds out she's slept with 4 guys before they actually broke up. Women don't like players because they don't know he's a player until he doesn't call the next day. Guys think of a player as Robin hood. He sticks it to the 'sex rich' women, Literally.
None of this should be taken seriously. Thanks
Edit: Maybe it's different in other places but it seems to me there are alot more older male/younger female couples than there are Older female/younger male couples. Maybe this could have some kind of relation to what is acceptable in the workplace. Women are allowed to joke and tease because it's automatically assumed that it IS an innocent comment because there are fewer older women with younger guys. Whereas a guy who says it is taken seriously because he most likely WOULD try to "hit that shit!" As they say...
